I was originally born in Amanzimtoti, KwaZulu Natal, but I have extensively traveled around the country until I finally decided to settle down in the goldfields of Klerksdorp in the North West Province approximately 80 miles southwest of Johannesburg. It\u2019s a beautiful place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Did You Attend School?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI attended MSC College, one of the most established colleges in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Do You Love Tech?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs a kid I was really engaged with riddles and puzzles and by the age of 12 I had built my own computer, I have loved the field ever since! \u201cThere\u2019s always something new to learn, every single day you find something new, and while it can be frustrating, the excitement of finding the solution to a problem tends to get the better of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Was Your Worst Job?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIn all honesty, I enjoyed every single one of them \u2013 each one has led up to where I am today, and I\u2019m grateful for every person I\u2019ve met along the way; and for every wall I\u2019ve walked into five or six times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Your Favorite Hobby?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIn my spare time you will find me hopping between video games and motorcycle trips.
